M1 action from Luton to Sheffield
30-10-2006 14:37
Banners were unfurled across M1 motorway bridges from Luton to Sheffield today as the Stern report on climate change was published. The M1 is due to be widened from Luton to Leeds, at a cost to the tax payer of £3.74 billion. The widening will allow traffic to grow and cause more CO2 emissions. Road transport is currently 21 per cent of UK emissions and rises every year.Banner Protest at Motorway Widening

Climate Change isn’t just going to disappear – and
neither are we. The Camp for Climate Action was a
turning point, but it was never going to be enough in
itself. Come and take the next steps forward at the
upcoming UK-wide meeting in Manchester from October
14th to 15th and be part of a newly energised movement
in the fight against climate chaos. Everybody is
welcome, whether you came to the Camp or not.
Indymedia at the Camp for Climate Action 2006: Report & Personal View
02-10-2006 18:12
During the Climate Camp, the field IMC media centre was open for a minimum of five hours each day (two and a half each morning and evening), with these limited opening hours primarily aimed to conserve power. Some days it was open longer, and it ran fully all day for two days until about midnight during the main day of action.
Mostly the imc ran on bio-diesel, but there was also a renewables power feed and some battery capacity. Twelve P1 laptops running via an LTSP server from Bristol Wireless provided the core public access, plus varying at different times up to five more modern laptops were running.
Two tents provided the main structures, one for the main imc / Public Access Point and one more as storage and kitchen. Chairs came from a social centre in Manchester, and table tops were donated by TRIM timber recycling of Manchester. 6 tables were set up balanced on top of hay bales (looking very rustic) while another 6 table tops had very sturdy legs masterfully constructed from scrap timber. The satellite dish providing connectivity from Psand was similarly balanced on top of four hay bales, but was in fact rock solid once ratcheted down - again a nice mix of rustic charm with hi tech.
Around 145 pictures were published direct from the field IMC, including two mobile phone pics (non-automated). Dispatch had over 50 phone reports on the main day of action. Several audio interviews and video clips were published. One freelance videographer was arrested and had their footage seized by cops. There was lots of good filming going on, and on the Friday night, over one hour of rushes were screened in two different tents to an appreciative audience! Several different sections of these are now fully published in IMC UK's Climate Camp page.
A big well done to all involved in setting up, running, participating and taking down the centre!
